Tay & Frankie are a husband wife duo, with 3 beautiful children. They’re the founders of the Alofa village.

Our first duo and lemme tell you they did not disappoint. 

We recorded this ep last year but I wanted to save them for the first drop of 2026. 

They were humble, honest & real which are a few of the qualities I deeply appreciate about them—They are who they show themselves to be & in this social media oriented world sometimes those things don’t always add up. 

This conversation had many layers, because they have many layers individually & in their decade + marriage/relationship.

We spoke about:

- Their experience of team work being key to making the dream work.

- The stand they’ve been for medical freedom & sovereignty, but that there came a point they really wanted to be & live the change not just talk about it. 

- Holding awarness around agendas but not letting it stop you from living—if you’re a rabbit hole diver this reminder will serve ✨! 

- Frankie’s professional rugby career & how that influenced their relationship dynamic + the day tay said no more to France. 

- Tays current business success & complete life pivot, which rearranged so much, in the best way—but not without its adjustment & challenges.

- How birth taught tay to unequivocally back herself & what Frankie learnt in that process. 

- Frankie’s growth as a man & how they’ve navigated their healing/self growth journeys individually & together—without the coddling or demanding. 

+ so much more, which you’ll discover when you listen.

Above all else though, she's like all of us a human. A human with a big heart, a desire to feel, see & experience the full breadth of our human experience and has such a way of brining this to life through story.

I've had the honour of knowing Britt for the last (almost) couple of years and everything shared in this episode is first hand lived & breathed experience. She's been through some things and yet she's chosen to let it expand, refine & grow her--even when it's hard, even when it's challenging, even when it asks her to walk away from everything she's built (a multi 6 figure business in this case) so she could breathe life into a new dream.

In this conversation we explored:

• Britt's medicene
• The art of story telling
• The way we turn to art when life is hard, when life is beautiful, when life is everything & anything in between
• Saying yes to the unknown
• The cost of entry & the barriers to entry that stop us from pursuing our dreams
• How mothering has shaped & influenced the tenacity she holds to go after her dreams whilst her girls are watching
• The of a calling
• How her applied neuro science background helped shape her characters
• The writing process & bringing her book to life

+ so much more.

His own journey has seen him seek better ways, from a childhood that experienced violence, to becoming a farther early on in life & not having the inner awareness or imprint of how to become the man he wanted to be, he took the bold step to reshape the man in the mirror.

In this beautiful conversation we explored many layers:

• Parts of his own journey that called him forward instead of repeating the past
• The way fatherhood has shaped him as a man
• The patterns we can choose to re-write when it comes to relating
• Relationship as a playground for self growth & how he’s built a healthful relationship
• Leading self before leading others
• Owning our humanness & not attempting “perfection” to be enough

+ sooo much more.
